Artist statement
Afterglow is the sixth work in my Our Changing Seas series exploring the rapid transition of coral reefs from healthy, colorful, and diverse to sickened and bleached. The slightly brighter colors in this work illustrate the phenomenon of fluorescence, in which corals sometimes create fluorescent proteins in an effort to protect themselves from excessive heat and sunlight when they hover on the verge of bleaching.
